workaround for "mate" via ssh?

[Michael Kuhn-4]

Did anyone find a workaround for the issue that "mate" doesn't work in
Snow Leopard when you're not in the same log-in session? This problem
has been raised before [1] but the corresponding ticket has been
closed by Allan [2].

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't seamlessly edit files on
remote machines anymore, which worked before using ExpanDrive and mate
over ssh/osascript. [3]

A solution if you have root privileges:

sudo launchctl bsexec <PID of TextMate> mate <args>

So if TextMate has a pid of 834:

: ps aux | grep Mate
dan   834   0.0  5.2  2226420 109012   ??  S    Mon03AM   3:22.20
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate -psn_0_270402
: sudo launchctl bsexec 834 mate ~/project
